Light waves are electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves are waves which means that they are disturbances in a particular physical medium and result in oscillations, but they differ from all other waves because they consist of 2 waves oscillating perpendicular to each other.One of these waves is an oscillating magnetic field and the other is electric. 
Electromagnetic waves are characterized with their wavelength (lambda).
No all electromagnetic waves are visible to humans. The visible spectrum is the light that we can see with our eyes is only a small fraction from the whole spectrum.

If the absolute temperature of a gas is 600 K, the temperature in degrees Celsius is
gavmur [86]
Kelvin is a base unit of temperature scale from SI that defines as zero degree Kelvin (absolute zero). The absolute zero is a hypothetical statement that all molecular movement stops because there is no transient of energy for the molecules to move. When converting temperature in degree Celsius to Kelvin, add 273. You are given 600K and you are asked to find it in degrees Celsius.  

T(K) = T(C) + 273
600 K = T(C) + 273
T(C) = 600 – 273
T(C) = 327 °C

An Indy 500 race car's velocity increases from 4.0 m/s to +36
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The average acceleration is 8\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Uniform Acceleration </u>

When an object varies its velocity at the same rate, the acceleration is constant.

The relation between the initial and final speeds is:

v_f=v_o+a.t

Where:

vf  = Final speed

vo = Initial speed

a   = Constant acceleration

t   = Elapsed time

The acceleration can be calculated by solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

The Indy 500 race car increases its speed from vo=4 m/s to vf=36 m/s in t=4 s. Thus, the average acceleration is:

\displaystyle a=\frac{36-4}{4}=8\ m/s^2

The average acceleration is 8\ m/s^2

A 1220-w hair dryer is used by several members of the family for a total of 30 min per day during a 30 day month. How much elecr
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Energy = 18.3 Kilowatt-hour

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Power = 1220 Watts

Time = 30 * 30 = 900 minutes to hours = 900/60 = 15 hours

To find the energy consumption;

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Power = \frac {Energy}{time}

Making energy the subject of formula, we have;

Energy = power * time

Energy = 1220 * 15

Energy = 18300 Joules

To convert energy to Kilowatt-hour;

Energy = 18300/1000

Energy = 18.3 Kilowatt-hour
